Chapter 97 Suspicion and Uncertainty
Yuanshi recalled the divination he made at the top of Buzhou Mountain, and his dislike for Dijun and Taiyi intensified. He resolved to isolate the two sides.
"Do you still remember the divination at the top of Buzhou Mountain? I vaguely saw that you would make a big mistake because of Di Jun and Tai Yi. Why don't you stop seeing them from today onwards?" Yuan Shi seized the opportunity to slander him. He spoke from the bottom of his heart, even though it was just a guess.
"How can this be?" Chang Hao refused resolutely. "Taiyi is truly sincere to me. If he is in trouble, I will definitely not sit idly by." There is also Dijun and Xihe. Although Dijun is sharp-tongued and unforgiving, he has a kind heart despite his sharp tongue. He still has human feelings beyond the law and reason. He really cannot stand by and watch them die.
Undeterred by the failure to sow discord, Yuanshi raised the danger level for Donghuang Taiyi, saying, "Since you are unwilling to sever ties, you must promise me that you will not get involved in the internal affairs of the demon race or participate in the matters of the witch and demon races."
The Lich and Demon races are now on the verge of war, and Yuanshi is watching with a cold eye, as if old events are about to repeat themselves.
“I understand that no matter whether they are both severely injured or one side wins, Taiyi will always have the ability to protect himself. At worst, I will not sit idly by and watch them die and perish, but that is all.”
Chang Hao spoke too soon, unaware that times would change and things would be beyond his control.
"You'd better remember your words, or I'll personally make sure you never forget it." Yuan Shi's words carried a strong warning. He could tolerate anything, except one thing: Chang Hao had to live peacefully and safely within his sight.
Chang Hao couldn't help but chuckle, clearly not taking Yuan Shi's warning seriously. "Yes, yes, yes, if it is my fault, brother, please punish me. I will not say a word."
Chang Hao knew that Yuanshi was the most protective of his own, stubborn but soft-hearted, and a person who would side with his relatives regardless of the truth. What could be done to him?
If that day ever comes, Chang Hao believes that if he gently pleads with Yuanshi, Yuanshi might soften his heart and disregard the overall situation to directly intervene and fight to the death for him. A lot of noise but little action is a true reflection of Yuanshi's character.
Yuanshi was satisfied with the definite answer he received. His biggest worry was that Chang Hao would foolishly get involved in the war between the lich and the demon.
Chang Hao hadn't expected Yuan Shi to be so easily satisfied; he was so naive. Indeed, he was the most ruthless of them all.
Yuanshi, not wanting Chang Hao's mind to dwell on the Golden Crow, changed the subject, "Have you resolved your important matter?"
"Nothing to show for it." Chang Hao frowned, his own affairs were still unresolved, how could he have the leisure to care about Di Jun's cubs?
Seeing Chang Hao's eyes filled with sorrow and his brows furrowed, Yuan Shi couldn't help but feel worried as well. "What exactly happened? Can I help him with this?"
"I am missing a fragment of my primordial spirit, and I have searched the entire prehistoric world without finding it. If it falls into the hands of thieves, it will likely become a disaster in the future." Chang Hao sighed. As for the matter of the curse, even Hongjun was helpless, so he decided not to mention it and trouble Yuanshi.
He didn't feel that the curse would have any effect on him. His only worry was that his primordial spirit was weak and powerless to stop the curse.
Yuanshi was both shocked and furious. "Why didn't you say so earlier? This is no small matter. There may be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes."
"Life and death are preordained, so what's the use of worrying? I've done my best, and all that's left is to leave the rest to fate." How could Chang Hao not know that this was inappropriate? But now, with so many things on his mind and nothing to show for it, was he really going to force himself to live in constant fear and toss and turn all night?
Chang Hao pondered for a moment before saying, "I want to go see the little golden crow." He was still bothered by that fleeting glimpse he had just caught. Since he sensed an invisible connection and had nothing else to do, he decided to go and find out.
"You can visit the little golden crow anytime, but your primordial spirit is of utmost importance. You must take good care of it; how can you treat it lightly?" Yuanshi's face darkened. Thinking of the title circulating among the demon race, his heart was filled with tyranny: Dijun!!!
"That was just an accident, and there was nothing I could do about it," Chang Hao said quietly, his face full of frustration as he spoke of the matter.
Chang Hao's exploration over the past few days has not been fruitless. At worst, the curse on his body has begun to come true, trying to push him into the abyss step by step. However, he is powerless against the curse, which is now very powerful and is suppressed by the merits on his body.
If that's the case, his primordial spirit must have been left alone, and the curse would have come true in the end. We don't know what will happen to him now.
"Is there any progress?" Yuanshi asked.
Chang Hao didn't know where to begin, and since the curse involved the past, he could only shake his head and pretend he didn't know.
"Don't ask, I don't know either," Chang Hao genuinely didn't know the specifics of the curse; he was simply plagued by bad luck, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Seeing that Chang Hao still hadn't given up the idea of going to the demon race, Yuan Shi suppressed his displeasure and explained the dangers: "You'd better not go. I've received news that Di Jun has given you a title in the demon race, Ming Huang. If you like, go to the Demon Court. Once you go, you won't be able to get rid of that title."
Yuanshi casually reached out and picked up the Zhuxian Sword to examine it closely, but he revealed Dijun's sinister intentions without a doubt.
Chang Hao's face turned red with anger. Emperor Ming?! What a chilling title! It reminded him of an emperor who was wise in his early years but became senile in his later years.
"Are you still going to see it?" Yuanshi asked, knowing the answer already.
Chang Hao rolled his eyes at him, "What are you looking at? I don't have time for that." Di Jun is getting more and more ruthless. When he went to the Demon Court, that guy had demon soldiers and generals personally welcome him and shout "Emperor!" which would immediately spread throughout the prehistoric world. No matter how hard he tried to explain, he couldn't.
Is Di Jun too idle? Chang Hao secretly wondered if he should pick a time to beat Di Jun up and vent his anger.
As for Little Golden Crow... even if he doesn't go to the Demon Court, it doesn't mean we won't see him. It seems we should contact Taiyi and bring Little Golden Crow to see him.
Yuanshi felt an itch in his heart and a burning sensation all over his body, yet he didn't know what to do. He could only silently recite the Jade Purity Heart Sutra to keep his mind clear, but he was also greedy for this unique scenery. If he hadn't been reluctant to make Chang Hao angry, he would have definitely provoked him so that he would find out the reason for his unbearable itch.
"Don't be angry, I have something good for you." Yuanshi said mysteriously.
"What is it?" Chang Hao asked with curiosity. Even a child could tell that what Yuanshi had given away must be extraordinary.
Yuanshi raised his hand and placed the Pangu Banner above, with the Jade Ruyi, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, and other top-grade innate spiritual treasures protecting the four directions and isolating the Heavenly Dao. Only then did he take out the Eight Treasures Palace Lantern.
Upon seeing the misty purple aura gathering on the Eight Treasures Palace Lantern, Chang Hao immediately chuckled, "It really was you! You already have Primordial Purple Aura, so why did you try to steal Hongyun's Primordial Purple Aura? Having too much Primordial Purple Aura is useless anyway."
"This is the Primordial Purple Qi I intercepted for you. Although it's incomplete, I know where the rest is, and I'll help you get it back sooner or later." In Yuanshi's view, this Primordial Purple Qi was originally meant for Chang Hao by his master. If it weren't for Hongyun's meddling, there wouldn't have been any complications.
What? You're giving it to him? Chang Hao's smile froze, his expression filled with surprise and uncertainty. "Are you sure you want to give me the Primordial Purple Qi, and not the Eight Treasures Palace Lantern? Why are you helping me seize the Primordial Purple Qi?"
Chang Hao's pupils contracted slightly. He had a feeling that Yuan Shi was...?
